I thank the Acting Prime Minister for the opportunity to add to the answer. As he said, we have an industrial relations framework which reflects what was introduced by the previous government. I make it very clear: our government has zero tolerance for any exploitation of workers and is committed to ensuring that workers have the opportunity to make a positive contribution to the Australian economy without the fear of exploitation. We have the highest minimum wage in the world and we have extensive safety guards in place. Of course, if the member wants to provide further information about the individual circumstances, we will look at it, but we have clear safeguards in place to support people in the workforce.
